Skied the Canyons today and had a great time. The snow was great, fresh powder and the lifts ran without any lines. Plenty of terrain from easy groomers to challenging tree runs. The staff is friendly and helpful if needed. Get the discount lift tickets in SLC before coming up and save $$.

Great snow, great mountain. The set-up is very nice and we loved our time here. Very small lift lines and plenty of mountain for everyone.

The best "rock & roll" socil life although there aren't many bars...but a lot of live music and the skiing is great. Super New Year's experience

As a local Salt Lake City-ian, I love this resort because of it's proximity to SLC. I have justify skiing a half day since it's less then 30 miles from the U of U (which is perfect when I have to be in class at 1). The resort is HUGE, which is great because it almost never gets crowded and you almost never wait in lift lines more then 5 min. No, there isn't as much snow as Alta (so on really deep powder days, head there or Snowbird), but you can still find untracked runs 2 days after a storm. There is almost no beginner terrain (literally 1 run), but there are a ton of blue runs. Canyons is still growing though, so they still have their problems - the park needs to be moved out of a major learning area (although it's better this year then last - but the bottom still intersects with the bunny hill which frightens the beginners half to death and you get families with little kids skiing unsafely in the park - they should charge an extra $10 or something to passes for people who want to ski in the park and keep the 2 or 3 boxes set up on high meadow for beginners who want to ski in the park), it's a pain to park and then have to take two lifts before you can start skiing - especially when you have to park in the dirt (which is common at all holidays), and there is kind of a lack of bathrooms on the Tombstone side of the mountain (although they have been putting in glorified port-a-potties). Overall though, with its proximity to SLC, the variety of terrain and lack of people, it is a really fun resort.
